Zabbuli 82

1 Zabbuli ya Asafu. Katonda akubiriza olukiiko lwe olukulu olw’omu ggulu, ng’alamula bakatonda.

A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.

2 Mulituusa ddi okusala emisango n’obukuusa, nga musalira abanafu?

How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)

3 Abanafu n’abatalina bakitaabwe mubalamulenga mu bwenkanya; abaavu n’abanyigirizibwa mubayambenga mu bwenkanya.

Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

4 Mulwanirire abatalina maanyi n’abali mu kwetaaga, mubawonye; mubanunule nga mubaggya mu mikono gy’ababi.

Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

5 Tebalina kye bamanyi, era tebategeera. Batambulira mu kizikiza; emisingi gy’ensi gyonna ginyeenyezebwa.

They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

6 Njogedde nti, Muli bakatonda, era mwenna muli baana b’oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo.

I have said, You are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.

7 “Naye mugenda kufa ng’abantu obuntu; muliggwaawo ng’abafuzi abalala bonna bwe baggwaawo.”

But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

8 Ogolokoke, Ayi Katonda, olamule ensi; kubanga amawanga gonna gago.

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
